Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
This episode will be best heard if you can see those works of Miranda’s that we reference, over at MirandaMeeks.com. Miranda is an artist whose work frequently graces the covers — and sometimes pages — of Brandon Sanderson’s books, as well as other novels. (Several prints adorn the walls of our studio, in fact.) Her style is at once dark, accessible, and unique, and on top of that she is a wonderful conversational partner. Listen in, I think you’ll enjoy this interview.

Kaladin. The tortured soul trying to do right, who falls and fails but rises again, is much more interesting to me than the repentent sinner.
Figures. I’ve got a Sanderson Book cover in my media library from way back when, but it isn’t hers.
For anyone else who’d like to look at the pictures as well as hear people talk about them: Link!
Kaladin really hooked me on the Stormlight books. Having a hero who’s actually depressed, that’s not terribly common.
Also, I feel we ought to at least @Kaladin
Consume
1BGG. Instant. As an additional cost to cast consume sacrifice a creature. Draw cards equal to it’s power. You may place +1/+1 counters equal to it’s toughness on target creature.
Hunger
1GG. Sorcery. Target creature you control deals damage equal to it’s power to target creature an opponent control. All creatures must block that creature if able.
Uncertainty
BB. Sorcery. Target player discards two cards.
The Reaper
BB. Creature — Human Assassin.
First strike, deathtouch. BB: The Reaper gets +1/+0 until end of turn.
If you want to get technical I didn’t need to make a Magic card for each piece of art, but where’s the fun in that?
Didn’t you just describe the same thing twice?
This is wrong. If I’m going to give it knight abilities it ought to be a Creature — Human Assassin Knight. Oh, and I didn’t include power and toughness (2/2).
You don’t get a card name like “The Reaper” for any old knight though. Has to be cooler than that. Allow me to take another swing at it:
3BB. Creature — Nightmare Assassin. (4/4). The Reaper can’t be blocked. Tap, destroy target creature.
Good point. But Shalon doesn’t suffer physical as well as moral failure. Kaladin does.
